John Everson’s one busy man: Over the past 15 years, his fiction has appeared in over 50 magazines, and among his novels, his 2004 COVENANT took the Bram Stoker Award for best first novel. COVENANT has just been released as an affordable mass market paperback by Leisure Books . ….
And so it begins! I’ve spent the past few months getting ready and now it’s really, finally here. The countdown clock on my website currently reads just 2 days ’til the mass market debut of Covenant (and actually, a few folks already have copies, since Amazon.com and the Leisure Book Club already started…
A FEW WEEKS AGO, the ARCs (advanced reader copies) of Covenant were mailed to reviewers (hey – if you got one, you can say you received the ARC of the COVENANT!!!) I’m happy to say that the first early reviews are coming in! Horror Fiction Review wrote that “COVENANT won…
WELL, DESPITE A month-long countdown on my website, this year’s Naperville Ribfest didn’t go down quite as planned (for me) last weekend. I’d hoped to go 3 or possibly all 4 of the days of the fest but… my son was sick with a headcold the first half of the weekend,…

IT’S BEEN SOMETHING of a whirlwind week for me – hard to believe that a week ago I was just getting home from the Milwaukee Massacre at the Wisconsin State Fair Park grounds. That’s because just a couple days later I hopped a plane for San Francisco for a business…
Burbank, California April 12, 2008 I HAD A BUSINESS TRIP planned to Los Angeles this weekend, and so a few weeks ago I called up Del and Sue at Dark Delicacies Bookstore and asked if they wanted me to come down for a signing… they ended up setting up a “mega-signing”…
LAST YEAR, FOR NO good reason, Bill Breedlove and I decided to roadtrip to WHC in Toronto. It was a great time, and somehow we didn’t kill each other over the music selections for the trip. So this year, when we decided our press Dark Arts Books was going to…
SO, AT SOME POINT, this year’s World Horror went from a standard annual convention to… a Road Trip (capital R). Initially I thought… what the hell. It’s an 8-9 hour drive from Chicago, right? I can listen to a lot of good albums at full volume during that time, and…
